 Lust had been curious about her daughter ever since she hatched and Lust saw she wasn't a normal Pae, she had bird looking wings and feet and whilst she was pleased to have such a beautiful daughter well...she would like to know where the hell she came from and instead of pondering about it day after day she decided that it was about time she did something about it "Aella! Sweetheart! Come here please" she called,hoping her daughter was still in her room.Aella was trying to take a nap which wasn't exactly going so well and so when her mother wanted to see her she had to groan a little, why did she want her? Couldn't she just leave her to sleep? Sure she loved her but still, after being out all night, she wanted to just sleep but no, her mother decided that was a silly thing to want and now wants to see her. "Comming!" She called as she got off her bed, walked over to the door and opened it and walked down stairs "yes, mom, what do you want?" She asked curiously."Well, I have been wondering this for a while and I think it is time we found out what you are and where you came from and we won't find that out just hanging around here so you and I are going to take a trip, which means that yes, we may be gone for some time so I want you to please go upstairs and pack whatever bag you can find with the essentials and then meet me down here".  "Awww but mom! I don't want to go on some trip! I don't want to leave this place, I like my own bed! I don't want to sleep on the ground!" She moaned to her mother as she slumped down on a near by chair."Sweetheart, I know you don't and besides, you like sleeping in trees, I will be the one on the ground but I digress, I can't go without you and even if I did I don't think, if I did find anything out, I won't get an answer without having you with me, hopefully it won't be for too long but we need to be prepared for at least a few nights away and besides" she said as she walked over to her "you and I haven't done anything just by ourselves ever" she said as she knelt down and placed her hands on her daughters "this will be a nice trip to discover who you are and just spend some quality time by ourselves so please, do this for me?" She asked, hoping her daughter will cave.Aella sighed "fine! Wait here, let me go get ready" she said as she smiled at her mother and and kissed her cheek "you owe me for this" she said as she got up to go get some provisions and hoped this would be alright, she didn't like traveling but then at least she was with her mother.Lust got up and grabbed two bags, one of her own and one of her fathers and started putting a few hunting supplies into her fathers and grabbed her quiver and bow, making sure she stuck more arrows in there just in case as well as a spear and set them by the front door, she may be crap at hunting but she, at least, knew how to use a bow and arrow, her father and aunt made sure she learnt how to use that at least just in case she ever needed to catch food for herself or, in times of trouble, protect herself. As Lust looked around her fathers home she grabbed a blanket from the kitchen table she had folded up just earlier that morning and placed it into the bag and then decided that she would get a few provisions from the Tree and to see her father before she went on this trip, the least she could do is tell him that she loved him in case she didn't come home.Moments later Aella came downstairs with a bag over her shoulder and and threw her mother her shawl "best take that, I don't really want to fight off whoever might think that necklace of yours is worth killing you over" she said, having tried killing her mother for it herself, needless to say that when your mother has a bow and arrow next to her and is pretty damn good at it it is best to not tempt fate, needless to say, it did teach her to not act on her desires of wanting that necklace no matter how much she did want it.Lust smiled at her daughter and caught the shawl and used it like a scarf and put it around her neck, making sure the shawl covered up the necklace completely before walking over and taking her daughters hand "come on, lets go, you have everything?
Aella nodded and squeezed her mothers hand "yes, I do, when we will be back?" "I don't know my darling but I wish to stop off at the Great Tree before we leave, I wish to say goodbye to my father and get a few things from the tree" she said as she saw her daughter pout "whats wrong? Wait, you want to see him as well don't you?" She said as she saw her daughter nod "I am sorry darling, but Rais won't allow you into the tree, I will relay what you want me to say to him but I promise, I won't be long" she said as she let go of her daughters hand and walked over and picked up the other bag, put them both over her head and rested them on either shoulder and picked up the bow and quiver and put them on her back, looking over her fathers favorite spear but decided to leave it. The arrows and bow will be good enough and she had her fathers favorite knife with her so she had at least that memento of her fathers and then looked around the house once more and sighed "we will be back" she said as she looked at her daughter who was doing the same "we will be back soon" she promised as she opened the door and walked out it, waiting for her daughter to leave the house and then shut the door and then took her daughters hand and left, making her way straight to the tree.

After walking a while, not speaking much, Lust and Aella arrived at the tee and whilst Lust was pleased to see the tree bustling with activity she was still unsure how stuff worked around the Tree, who was she to see when it came to obtaining supplies? She decided to leave that for the time being and looked at her daughter "right, this is were we part ways just for a little bit, meet me out here in an hour alright? Is there anything you want me to say to your grandfather?"
Aella sighed as she looked at the tree, wanting desperately to go in, see what was going on in there etc but she knew she couldn't and even if she tried the Circle would be on her in seconds so she just looked at her mother and shrugged "not really, just tell him that I love him" she said as she turned to start heading back down the path and turned to look at her mother "I will just be visiting Sparrow, I best tell her I will be leaving for a bit" she said as she saw her mother nod and carried on walking as she turned to go inside.
Lust stood at the door and took a deep breath and let it out, walking in she headed straight for the cells, not exactly looking forward to going down there, she will just be glad when her father was able to come home. she continued down to the level her father was on, hoping he wouldn't be upset that she would be leaving him for a while but she had to do this, she had to find out what her daughter was exactly.
Lust stopped at the bottom of the stairs and made her way toward her fathers cell, stopping once she was in front of it and looked at her father who had his back to the wall, face buried in his knees "daddy" she said softly as she looked in at him "daddy, are you alright?" She asked, hoping he was better then he looked.
Tafari looked up, he truly felt like death warmed up but he smiled and got up and walked over to his daughter and reached a hand out to her "my darling, how have you been? How is Aella?" He asked as lust reached in and gave him both her hands.
"She is fine and so am I and she sends you her love but she really just wants to get you home, spend time with you, she doesn't remember anything about you and what she does remember was just some vague memory of some kind male that lived with her and really, I just want you to come home also" she said as she started to silently cry "more then anything, I just want you home" she said as she lent in as best as she could and kissed her fathers hands "I miss you daddy, I miss you so much!" She said as she looked up at him.
"I will be home soon but please, don't cry my angel" he said as he dried her tears "I am keeping well enough in here but I promise it isn't too much longer now, just need to get through this season and I will be back home with you" he said as he kissed his own daughters hands "but looking at you...you are going somewhere?" He asked curiously "you don't like to hunt and Aella should be able to hunt by herself by now so why do you have my hunting bag and your quiver and bow?" He asked curiously.
"You are right, I am going away, just for a little while and I wanted to come and see you first and to get some provisions from here to take with me, that is, if Chief Rais won't mind that is" she said as she took a deep breath and carried on "the reason I am going is because I want to know what Aella is, for many seasons now I have been curious as to what she is and I can only get answers if I go in search for them and so I have decided that now that she is a teen I have decided to take her and search for them but I do hope I won't be away for too long. I came just to say goodbye and that I love you and will miss you terribly, I promise I will take good care of Aella and myself, you taught me how to use a bow and arrow from an early age and whilst I may not like to hunt I can at least use it to protect myself and her so I will be able to do that at least but I won't lie to you daddy and say that I am not going to probably get hurt whilst on this journey, I am a mother and if you have taught me anything it is that a parent protects their children first and foremost so I apologize now if I end up worrying you but I can't help that, I won't let harm come to my daughter."
Tafari smiled as tears welled up in his eyes "you truly have grown" he said as he smiled at her "the teenager that was so promiscuous has grown up to be a beautiful, mature woman, something I never thought would happen but I swear, if you come home half dead I won't be impressed, you better take good care of yourself as well even if you spend more time protecting your daughter" he said as he kissed her hands once more "I wish I was coming with you but I know you will give me all the details when you return" he said as he dried the tears away from his eyes.
"Thank you daddy but I wouldn't say I was mature in the greatest of sense but I have matured, yes, I have seen the error of my ways and I know that you want to come with me but I think, even if you were not in here, I would want to go by myself because it is something I want and need to do with Aella, she is my daughter, I am best to get this out of the way with her and learn what I can about her if nothing else" she said as she started crying again "oh daddy, I don't want to leave you but I know that I will be back and it will be before you get out of here, I swear!" She said as she slowly let her hands fall "I best be going" she said, hating herself for saying what she did.
Tafari grabbed her hands once more and pulled her towards him "head on the roots please?" He asked, waiting for her to do such a thing before kissing her forehead "I love you my angel, now, forever and always, I will see you when you get back" he said as he let her hands go "take care my angel and tell Aella I love her also" he said as he stepped back, trying hard not to cry anymore "you will be in my prayers" he said as he watched his daughter step back.
"And you will be in mine, I love you daddy" she said as she too tried not to cry anymore and turned and leave, the sooner she got the stuff she needed the better, she wanted to get going so the sooner she can get back and visit her father some more.

((STAFF NOTE: It was stated at the time of Tafari's incarceration that he would receive NO visitors without Chieftain Rais' explicit permission. Lust has not received that permission either in-character from Rais nor out-of-character by asking staff, neither is she a pure-blooded Faun NOR sworn to the Tree, so the in-character consequences for her above actions will follow.))***  Stranger.
Not quite Faun...not a pure child of the Earth...
...a heart divided, unsettled...the choice not made...
...loyalty questioned...lurking within...unknown intentions.
The voice of Laisidhiel was practically screaming to those who knew how to hear it. Those were few, but they were enough when it counted. One was enough when it was one in particular.
Rais' hand trailed lightly over the Great Tree's walls as he walked, as if the gesture might help soothe the worries and panic within. He didn't know if it helped the Tree, but it helped him, and the anxious, tight feeling in his chest. He continued to descend, passing what most Faun knew to be the bottom level of Laisidhiel, the meeting dais and Mojo's bar left behind as the Chieftain continued below. Light faded, soon only provided by lanterns filled with luminescent lichen in the tight areas of the tunnel, and torches when there was space.
Below, muffled sounds of hooves on dirt, followed by whispers filled with panicked tones. The voices barely strained to contain their volume, to keep from being heard. Rounding a sharp bend in the tunnel and ducking beneath a low hanging root in the ceiling, Rais was met with the sight of a pair of panicked guards, hunched over and conversing in quiet, rapid tones."I don't know where she came from! She was just there when I came down to start my duty!" "Well, she came from somewhere! What do we do?" The pair practically leaped out of their fur as the Chieftain rounded the bend. He quickly held up a hand to silence them, having caught the end of the conversation, his glare stilling their tongues. For all his imposing stature over the other Fauns, the Chieftain moved with deceptive silence. Peering down the corridor behind them, he spied the intruder, then withdrew to fix the guards with his gaze. "You will both leave this to me. If she's not alone, I want to know about it. Now, go," he ordered, command still carrying even without volume as he pointed back the way he'd come. The guards threw a hasty salute and were off up the tunnel towards the surface.
Back to the Cellar, Rais' eyes narrowed and he moved forward silently, with purpose. Beneath the Earth, among the roots of Laisidhiel, there was no other place any more the Faun Chieftain's natural element than right here. He moved like a shadow through the darkness between torches, never a hoof fall sounding against the Earth if he did not wish it, She seemed about to retreat now, ready to make her escape before being discovered perhaps. Seeming to materialize from the Earth itself, the Chieftain loomed over her from behind, waiting as she turned to plant his hands solidly against the wall behind her on either side. In a dangerously quiet, even voice, he growled, "Who the hell are you, and what in the name of the Earth are you doing in my Tree?"
Even with her odd appendages, the Chieftain stood an entire head height over her, and easily twice her weight. Paying no mind that this was only a female he threatened, his mind was only on the fact that she was an intruder, and his rage told him that he should dispose of any threats to his home and his people with swift retribution.
His voice dropped even lower as his face moved inches from hers to snarl, "Perhaps the first words out of your mouth should be the ones that convince me of why I shouldn't just crush you where you stand."

((ACK! Thats right, she wasn't! Sorry!! I totally forgot about that! I should of dug up the old rp sweatdrop )) As Lust was leaving she turned around and was met with the very guy who she had heard her father speak of ever since she was a child, talking about him as if he were some great hero, she had always wanted to meet him and now she got that wish just that it should of been in better circumstances but she could see why he was to be feared and yet also respected, as she stood there staring up at him, scared, she wanted to just crawl away, back out of the tree and never come here again but, technically, she was still Faun, regardless of her wings, and yes, it was a strange sight but hey, it wasn't like she was made up of five different species of Pae, wings or not she still LOOKED like a faun and so she stood there, bowed her head low in respect for the other. "Sir, please, I don't mean you any harm, my name is Lust, I am the daughter of Tafari, I am not here to cause trouble, I just wished to see my father and that is it, I had forgotten that I was meant to get your permission but I promise I don't mean to cause any problems I just wanted to say goodbye to my father as I am going on a journey to find out what my daughter is and I don't know when I will be back or IF I will even be back but I had to see him once more" she said as she looked up at him, pleading him to have mercy on her "I couldn't leave without saying goodbye to him, if I die out there and I never got to see him one last time..." she tore her eyes away from him as tears fell down her face.
"...If I couldn't talk to him one last time, tell him that I loved him then what would be the point in him even getting released? I and my daughter who is coming with me are his only family, he has no other, getting released from here with no family to see when he gets out would crush him more then anything else this world threw at him and I just wanted to at least let him know that I would be gone for a while" she said as she looked back at him "I apologize greatly for not going through the right protocols but I swear all I wanted was to see my father once more in case I never returned" she said as she bowed her head once more, hoping he would show her mercy, she wasn't like her father, hating almost all authority, disrespecting those in charge, she never did like that about her father but then that was her father, not her, and today probably wouldn't show that to the man standing in front of her. In Lusts life this was the second time that she had ever broken the rules and she wasn't exactly looking forward to the probable punishment he was about to give her because of it, but a small part of her hoped he would be kind, as it was her first offence here, and let her off with just a small punishment...of course her small and his small would be two completely different things but still, all she could do is hope he would be merciful toward her.

"By the Spirits, SHUT UP!" Rais roared, left eye twitching slightly. By the Earth, did the child never stop talking? "I didn't ask for your life's story and ambitions, but if I do, I'll be sure to ask for the summarized version. From now on, you will answer my questions in ten words or less. No more." He was still tempted to snap the child like a twig instead of talking to her further.
His eyes darted to the traitor in the cell. Wonderful, so this was the spawn he'd been harping about to the Captain before. Well, other than apparently sharing her father's lack of respect for rules and authority, she seemed to be doing just fine. Well, until today. This could be considered a serious mistake for one who wanted to continue living.
"You acknowledge that you knew you were to get my permission first, meaning you talked to the guards at the entrance of the Tree, and yet, you make the conscious decision to come here anyway," Rais growled, his anger barely contained. "That alone is enough for me to see that you're obviously the offspring of this traitor. I don't care what your reasoning was; at the end of it all, you made the decision to defy MY direct orders! Your father is here as punishment! A punishment is not supposed to be nice and sweet and full of convenient loopholes that you find for yourself!" The soil around them started falling from the overhead roots, the ground itself beginning to shake with his anger.
"You're suggesting that his only reason for living is you and your daughter? Perhaps he should have considered that before sharing his traitorous thoughts with the Circle." He made a private note to make sure that the guards found this other intruder before this was finished. "So, my decision to release him to his happy world free of authority after his sentence is not as merciful as I thought? Are you suggesting that it would be more merciful for me to have him executed instead then, if the mere possibility of living alone is so unbearable?"
"Besides," he continued, "I have never seen you before. You are no loyal servant of the Tree. How can I believe that you were here for the reasons you say? You shouldn't even be in the Great Tree without my permission, let alone down here." Of course, it was also the Tree's permission she needed, but even Laisidhiel was upset by the intrusion today, which was enough to throw Rais into a rage. "How do I know that if I had not interrupted, that your intention was to plot with this traitor to gain his freedom? I'd be tempted to lock you up down here as well if I wasn't concerned about a family of anarchists plotting the downfall of our society beneath our very hooves!"

Lust shrunk back and bit her tongue, waiting for the other to finish before looking up at him, wanting to scream at him but decided that wouldn't get her anywhere so she took a deep breath and calmed herself down a little and looked up at him, he wanted ten word answers so that is what she would give him...the question was, will her answers be good enough? Only time will tell so she would start with the first question, ignoring his wrong assumptions "gift him death, you would be doing him a favor." Lust said calmly as she looked at him in the end, using the word 'gift' and 'favor' because that is exactly what it would be, the leader didn't like her father so if he wanted to be kind and gift him the favor of death instead of him living with no Faun family and him having no family outside of the Tree which will slowly eat away at him and tear him apart mentally, emotionally and physically then would that not be a better punishment then giving him what her father wanted? Unless, of course, the leader was into gifting favors to those he thought were traitorous toward him, his Faun and his Tree? Guess time would tell.
Lust thought on the next question and the only one she could come up with was one that he MIGHT listen to but yes, she would still stick to the whole 'ten words or less answer as he wished "what if I said I could help you a little?" She said nothing else, she just looked at him, didn't blink, just stared at him, hoping he wouldn't just ignore her when she said she could help because really, she didn't know if she could but if this info could, at least, be a tiny bit helpful for him, then at least she would of done her best toward him and his Faun, if only a little.

Rais' only response was to lift one eyebrow. Limit what she says and suddenly she says something interesting...if a bit unexpected. However, he was no fool. She'd broken every Faun law to get in here, and now she acted as if she didn't care if he had her father executed? Did she think this was some game? Did she think that she could play him as a fool?
The mild irritation he felt from that was nothing compared to his enduring rage.
Instead, he crossed his arms and watched her with an appraising look. "I see. Well, I doubt there is anything you could possibly help me with, but I'll entertain that amusing thought in a moment. I suppose we should deal with the manner of your father's execution first."
He crossed to the cell, fixing his gaze on the male Faun who had remained silent thus far. "By your silence, I can assume that you're fine with your daughter speaking for you. And since apparently she's decided that she's about to run off and kill herself, that it be only fitting she take you with her. Settles an issue for me," he said calmly, turning to lean against the wall.
"You see, there's a reason that Faun fight and die for the sake of Laisidhiel. It's not just because of some grand philosophy, nor some abstract idea. When the Great Tree is referred to as our life source...that's in the literal sense. If the Tree lives, the Faun live. If the Tree dies...all Faun die." He narrowed his eyes at the traitor in his cell. "You understand then WHY we care for each other as family, and the Tree most of all? Because we receive, not only our special abilities from the Tree, but our life source and energy itself."
"A Faun cannot live without being connected to a magical source such as Laisidhiel. Our lost brethren were fortunate to find alternatives in their foreign lands...and when those were lost, they returned here, so that Laisidhiel could save them. I'd think that you would remember this well," he said pointedly. His research had uncovered that before he retreated from the Tree, this one had come with the odd Lady Artemis. Shame this one hadn't seemed to pick up on her manners.
"And so, when your sentence was finished," he continued evenly, "I've been reminded that cutting you off from the Tree would be the same as a death sentence. I doubt you would find another magical source to align with, what with your distaste for any sort of organization or authority, so, I suppose that is true. You might have a few days or weeks though before you start to grow weak and waste away, but that's enough time to say goodbye, yes? I thought it was merciful. Apparently, your daughter disagrees and would rather we keep it quick."
"I had originally thought to give you a chance to beg for your life, but, I suppose that offer has been thrown back in my face by your loving offspring. So, I suppose that only leaves us with the method of your demise. Would you prefer being released, after being branded a traitor so that any other Faun would recognize and shun you, until the end of your days...which would likely be few, but enough to make your goodbyes? Or, would it be more merciful to keep it quick and forgo all that?"

Lust just stood there, so the reverse psychology didn't work, it was a trye! Give her a break! At least she tried SOMETHING! Now, plan B...she DID have a plan B right!? Nope, not a single clue what plan B was if plan A didn't work but Lust listened to what Rais had to say and whilst she was she also understood what he said but to reply to him, she didn't have a chance, he was now busy speaking to her father so even if she wanted to reply or had a plan B he was no longer interested in her at least for the moment.Tafari said nothing but being shut up in here has actually changed him a little and now he had a chance to try and prove that to the leader and whilst it wouldn't be the response he was looking for right this moment it was a response, he, at least, thought Rais would want to see so Tafari came back to the 'bars' "Lord Rais" he said, speaking reasonably loudly and clearly as he knelt onto the ground, regardless if he could properly see him or not and bowed his head " when we met I was fairly under arrest of Sir Gulliver and yet the way I acted toward him and you, the Council and even Laisidhiel itself when I got here was disgusting and it was a terrible way for one of your Faun...er...ex-Faun to have acted and I should have treated you, Sir Gulliver, the council and Laisidhiel far better then what I had.
Whilst I know I will never be able to make it up to you I want to just say I am terribly sorry and if you will allow me to I would also like to apologize directly to Sir Gulliver and the rest of the council as well" did he hate i doing this? A little but he also has realized that going against him and the council actually sucks more then just listening to them, a stint in jail can make a Faun start to realize a few things like how to not end up in jail if you just listened to your council and leader and the apology was completely genuine and sincere.Lust stood there, mouth dropped open and blinked...what just happened? Did her very stubborn father just...apologize!? Umm right...so lets back up a little, I basically tell Lord Rais he should die and he...he APOLOGIZES!? Alright, this whole sneaking into the jail to see her father has just gone from bad to seriously weird, since when did her father give in!? Since when did her father actually WILLINGLY want to apologize to Rais and the others?! And since when was he genuine and sincere about it!? No! Nonononono!, This isn't happening, I am in some dream, her father did NOT just apologize to the one guy and his council that she thought he would of loathed by now.

Raising an eyebrow at the response, as well as the odd titles the prisoner chose to use, Rais listened, interjecting only with a correction, "It's Chief, or Chieftain Rais." He said nothing more until Tafari finished. At that point, he moved towards the roots separating the two males, leaning on them lightly. The frown had not left his face, but some of the rage was gone from his eyes. "You display more sense than your offspring," he commented, privately thinking to himself how it would be difficult to display less, given how she'd knowingly defied his direct orders and waltzed in here as if she owned the place. "And yet," he continued, "when given the choice, you do not beg for your life, only forgiveness. Have you given up then? In sacrificing your pride, have you also lost the will to live?" The questions were asked quietly, the Chieftain leaning on his arm and staring down at the subjugated Faun. Such a change from the arrogant, self-centered insolent that had been brought to his attention more than a season ago. Funny how getting what you ask for isn't always what you really want.
Rais knew that the child had been pushing him. And he'd pushed right back. However, strict though he may be, he wasn't a murderer. Not in cold blood, not like this. "I tried to offer you a way out," he muttered sadly, shaking his head. "But our people's laws are clear. Even if you remained, you would be treated as an outcast, cursed for criticizing the current faun leadership and hierarchy. It is a bad omen of the worst kind, angering the spirits and bringing bad luck down upon you and your family. You would have been shunned even if you stayed."
Rais straightened up, taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly before continuing. "Your sentence will stand. There is no change, for better or for worse. Your apology will be accepted, and when your sentence is complete, you will be released unharmed, but forever exiled from Laisidhiel and cut off from its protection." He paused, looking down at Tafari with something like pity. Perhaps he should set a few extra guards, just in case. If the Faun had truly given up on life, there was nothing to say he might not try to shorten his sentence by taking his life himself. Of course, there was nothing Rais could do once he was released from here. "I pray the spirits have mercy on you, if not in this life, then in the next." Rais head was bent solemnly, and he stayed in silence for a moment longer before turning away from the cell.
"As for you," he turned on Lust with hardened eyes, then seemed to pause and glance up as if hearing something. His ear flicked upwards and he set one hand against a root in the corridor wall. His frown deepened, then after a moment's hesitation, he nodded quietly. Turning his eyes back to Lust, Rais said, "Being a leader is not so easy as many think. I do not enjoy being an enforcer, but it is a necessary job for the good of all. It pains me to mete out such punishment, but I have no choice."
He pulled his hand from the wall, crossing towards Lust. "For the crimes of trespassing in the Great Tree, Laisidhiel, as well as knowingly defying a direct order by the Chieftain of the Faun, you have been found guilty. You have displayed blatant disrespect for the Faun people, our traditions, and our home. For this, Laisidhiel herself has demanded your exile. You will be escorted out of the Tree immediately, never to return. After today, I should never see you near Laisidhiel again. Is this understood?"

As Tafari lifted his head and looked at him "thank you for the prayer but I have not given up, Sir...Chief, just apologizing, it was my daughter who gambled with my life, not I, I have not given up, I want out of this place as much as as any prisoner who is placed within these cells, I will accept everything and when I leave I will promise never try to enter the tree again, I will accept being cut off for good" he said to the leader, not exactly looking forward to getting out of here but he would get through it...somehow "also sir, I do not beg for my life, if anything, I have always known you to be a fair and just leader, as I said the day I came in here, whilst I may not have respected all of your council I always had respected you, if I lost my my life then it would have been for a reason you saw fit, would I agree with it? No, of course not, who would? But in the end if my life was to be ended then you would have your reasons in doing so and I wouldn't go against them, once I might of but now, I see no reason to especially when you have me locked up here like some caged animal so how can I disagree with what you say? You have the advantage, I can do nothing" he said as he got up and turned and walked back to the bed and sat down upon it and listened to his daughters punishment but said nothing, after all, this was her problem, not his.Lust looked at the Faun leader and said nothing but sighed and nodded "I understand and accept" she said as she turned and looked at her fathers cell once more "I will see you soon daddy" she promised softly as she looked at Rais "my sincerest apologies for breaking your laws and for upsetting Laisidhiel" she said as she turned to walk up the stairs, having needing to go meet her daughter anyway by now, whilst this was a blow she wasn't about to give up on her daughter, she had her to care for and whatever may happen to her now that she was, at least partly, in the same boat as her father. So Lust was going to have to be extra careful on this trip now but that was the least of her problems right now, she was about to go on a journey where she was going to maybe meet up with whoever gave birth to her daughter and if her daughter was anything to go by she was not exactly looking forward to meeting the possible mother, especially if Aella was one of the ones who was taken from her that night, who knows if she still may hold a little resentment towards those who took her eggs to bring them up as their own.

Rais looked between the pair warily, not sure they quite understood the situation...but he was tired of trying to press his point. As it was, Tafari admitted to only behaving because he had no other option at this point, so perhaps he wasn't so changed or broken as the Faun Chieftain believed.
Good thing, because he wouldn't have long once separated from Laisidhiel to find a new way to survive before he wasted away completely. He'd need to find a new magical life source to bind to quickly.
It was a morbid curiosity, but Rais wondered just how long a Faun could survive separated from Laisidhiel. He'd never seen such a thing in his life. This one at least.
Shaking his head, he gave Tafari a final look, then turned to follow Lust from the Root Cellar, to be sure that she left the Tree promptly and did not dawdle. The sooner this was over, the better as far as he was concerned.

Lust wasn't going to go against him, she would leave as he (and the Tree) had ordered but what she hopped was that her daughter was not around, she didn't need the drama that would cause.Aella had been waiting, in tears, but waiting for her mother over by a tree that was, at least, a good distance away from the Great Tree, she wanted to stay, she wanted to go back to her friend, she missed Sparrow already, she REALLY hated this, she wanted to be with her her and she NEEDED to be, she shouldn't be going off on whatever journey her mother wanted to go on! She sighed as she closed her eyes and dried her tears, crying wouldn't help but still, maybe she wouldn't go, maybe she will stay here, her mother can't make her go! And yet...if she didn't go with her she may never see her again...UGH! This really sucks! Oh well the sooner the leave the sooner they will come back.As Lust reached the entrance and started along the way she came she headed straight for the door so she could leave this place, not knowing what life would be like now that she was cut off from the Fauns but she still had the blessings of the Gods, she would still be able to survive thanks to them but what about her now? She didn't know, she was uncertain what may happen but she just needed to get out of here and whatever happened happened but she would face whatever came, if there was one thing her father taught her it was to not to give up when times were hard, now it was time to do as he taught, especially now given where she was going. Teigra Just thought you might want to see the last part through

((Decided that it is about time this gets finished, it was a slight rush job but I thought that this has gone on long enough and so instead of also making this a drawn out rp (well, longer then it already has been) we can just end up trying it up faster then what it has been. ))
As Lust had left the tree and headed over to her waiting daughter who was sitting beneath a tree she looked at her and smiled "come, lets get this over with" she said as she held a hand out to her daughter and helped her up "darling, just promise me you won't leave me" she said as she wrapped her arms around her daughter and hugged her, what just happened she knew she couldn't tell her daughter, at least not yet, she would be able to tell sooner or later that she was no longer protected by the Tree, earth and the Fauns themselves but till that day she had a job to do and that meant finding out what her daughter was and it would be harder now, it would stupid of her to even try and deny that she would still be able to live the life she had lead before, the Chieftain was not impressed with her just barging in and nor was the tree but right now she didn't care, all she cared about was her daughter.
"Mom, what brought this on?" She asked curiously, hugging her mother back
"nothing just...just that I think I am going to need all the help from my friends and family after today, thats all" she said as she lent down and kissed the top of her daughters head, you don't get cut off from the Tree without some repercussions and she wasn't sure exactly what they are but she knew it wouldn't be good but right now she and her daughter had somewhere to be.
"Mom, what happened in there!?" Aella demanded, not going anywhere without an answer.
"Darling..."
"MOM! You always do this! Keep me out of the loop! Not include me in whatever you and Twinkle are talking about etc! Are Sparrow and I not old enough to hld a conversation with you two!? Seriously, we know and understand more then you care to believe!"
Lust sighed and walked away from the Tree completely and when she had gotten away from the rest of the Faun she sat down under another tree and patted the ground beside her and waited till she sat down before explaining what happened to her and afterwards, after saying what she did it was now so final and she was starting to feel scared, unsure what this actually meant, what the future held for her and her father, she didn't know what would become of her.
As Aella sat and listened she sighed and put her arms around her mother "I don't know how serious it is but something tells me that if you are getting cut off from the tree like this then I don't think you and I will be going anywhere, if we leave on this little adventure who knows what will happen to you, we don't know what will become of you but until we see even a slight change or something I think it is best we stick to being at home, we stick to being around where we are familiar, if we leave now when there are no other Pae out there that know us and may not help us if the need arises then I think that it is better we just stick to what we know, we can find out who I am at a later date, till then, you and I are returning home.
Lust looked to her daughter who had gotten up and held out a hand "come, lets go home" Aella said as he mother placed a hand in her daughters and the bird-like Pae helped her up and clung to her hand tightly as she started to walk home with her "I love you mom" she said as she kissed her mothers temple "I won't leave you and grandfather, I promise" she said as she just held her mother close as the started to return home.
